FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to fused heteroaromatic pyrrolidinone compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to the use of the compounds for treating disorders and conditions involving the immune system and inflammation, including rheumatoid arthritis. The heteroaromatic pyrrolidinones are inhibitors of spleen tyrosine kinase.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a 72 kDa non-receptor cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase. SYK has a primary amino acid sequence similar to that of zeta-associated protein-70 (ZAP-70) and is involved in receptor-mediated signal transduction. The N-terminal domain of SYK contains two Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains, which bind to diphosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) found in the cytoplasmic signaling domains of many immunoreceptor complexes. The C-terminus contains the catalytic domain, and includes several catalytic loop autophosphorylation sites that are responsible for receptor-induced SYK activation and subsequent downstream signal propagation. SYK is expressed in many cell types involved in adaptive and innate immunity, including lymphocytes (B cells, T cells, and NK cells), granulocytes (basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils), monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells. SYK is expressed in other cell types, including airway epithelium and fibroblasts in the upper respiratory system. See, e.g., Martin Turner et al., Immunology Today (2000) 21(3):148-54; and Michael P. Sanderson et al., Inflammation & Allergy—Drug Targets (2009) 8:87-95.

SYK's role in ITAM-dependent signaling and its expression in many cell types suggest that compounds which inhibit SYK activity may be useful for treating disorders involving the immune system and inflammation. Such disorders include Type I hypersensitivity reactions (allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and atopic dermatitis); autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura); and inflammation of the lung (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). See, e.g., Brian R. Wong et al., Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2004) 13(7):743-62; Sanderson et al. (2009); Jane Denyer & Vipul Patel, Drug News Perspective (2009) 22(3):146-50; Esteban S. Masuda & Jochen Schmitz, Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2008) 21:461-67; Malini Bajpai et al., Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2008) 17(5):641-59; and Anna Podolanczuk et al., Blood (2009) 113:3154-60. Other disorders include hematological malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma (e.g., mantle cell lymphoma), and T-cell lymphoma (e.g., peripheral T-cell lymphoma); as well as epithelial cancers, such as lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colon cancer. See, e.g., Cynthia K. Hahn et al., Cancer Cell (2009) 16:281-294; D. H. Chu et al., Immunol. Rev. (1998) 165:167-180; A. L. Feldman et al., Leukemia (2008) 22:1139-43; A. Rinaldi et al., Br. J.

“Leaving group” refers to any group that leaves a molecule during a fragmentation process, including substitution reactions, elimination reactions, and addition-elimination reactions. Leaving groups may be nucleofugal, in which the group leaves with a pair of electrons that formerly served as the bond between the leaving group and the molecule, or may be electrofugal, in which the group leaves without the pair of electrons. The ability of a nucleofugal leaving group to leave depends on its base strength, with the strongest bases being the poorest leaving groups. Common nucleofugal leaving groups include nitrogen (e.g., from diazonium salts); sulfonates, including alkylsulfonates (e.g., mesylate), fluoroalkylsulfonates (e.g., triflate, hexaflate, nonaflate, and tresylate), and arylsulfonates (e.g., tosylate, brosylate, closylate, and nosylate). Others include carbonates, halide ions, carboxylate anions, phenolate ions, and alkoxides. Some stronger bases, such as NH₂ ⁻ and OH⁻ can be made better leaving groups by treatment with an acid. Common electrofugal leaving groups include the proton, CO₂, and metals.

“Opposite enantiomer” refers to a molecule that is a non-superimposable mirror image of a reference molecule, which may be obtained by inverting all of the stereogenic centers of the reference molecule. For example, if the reference molecule has S absolute stereochemical configuration, then the opposite enantiomer has R absolute stereochemical configuration. Likewise, if the reference molecule has S,S absolute stereochemical configuration, then the opposite enantiomer has R,R stereochemical configuration, and so on.

“Stereoisomer” and “stereoisomers” of a compound with given stereochemical configuration refer to the opposite enantiomer of the compound and to any diastereoisomers, including geometrical isomers (Z/E) of the compound. For example, if a compound has S,R,Z stereochemical configuration, its stereoisomers would include its opposite enantiomer having R,S,Z configuration, and its diastereomers having S,S,Z configuration, R,R,Z configuration, S,R,E configuration, R,S,E configuration, S,S,E configuration, and R,R,E configuration. If the stereochemical configuration of a compound is not specified, then “stereoisomer” refers to any one of the possible stereochemical configurations of the compound.

“Substantially pure stereoisomer” and variants thereof refer to a sample containing a compound having a specific stereochemical configuration and which comprises at least about 95% of the sample.

“Pure stereoisomer” and variants thereof refer to a sample containing a compound having a specific stereochemical configuration and which comprises at least about 99.5% of the sample.

All references to compounds, including compounds of Formula 1 and compounds named in the specification, generally include all complexes, salts, solvates, hydrates, and liquid crystals of the compounds. Likewise, all references to compounds include all complexes, solvates, hydrates, and liquid crystals of the salts of the compounds.

Compounds of Formula 1, which include compounds specifically named above, may form pharmaceutically acceptable complexes, salts, solvates and hydrates. These salts include acid addition salts (including di-acids) and base salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include nontoxic salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphorous acids, as well nontoxic salts derived from organic acids, such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. Such salts include acetate, adipate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate, carbonate, bisulfate, sulfate, borate, camsylate, citrate, cyclamate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulfate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, pyroglutamate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and xinofoate salts.

Pharmaceutically acceptable base salts include nontoxic salts derived from bases, including metal cations, such as an alkali or alkaline earth metal cation, as well as amines. Examples of suitable metal cations include sodium (Na⁺) potassium (k⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), zinc (Zn²⁺), and aluminum (Al³⁺). Examples of suitable amines include arginine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethylamine, diethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, glycine, lysine, N-methylglucamine, olamine, 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol, and procaine. For a discussion of useful acid addition and base salts, see S. M. Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci. (1977) 66:1-19; see also Stahl and Wermuth, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use (2002).

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared using various methods. For example, one may react a compound of Formula 1 with an appropriate acid or base to give the desired salt. One may also react a precursor of the compound of Formula 1 with an acid or base to remove an acid- or base-labile protecting group or to open a lactone or lactam group of the precursor. Additionally, one may convert a salt of the compound of Formula 1 to another salt through treatment with an appropriate acid or base or through contact with an ion exchange resin. Following reaction, one may then isolate the salt by filtration if it precipitates from solution, or by evaporation to recover the salt. The degree of ionization of the salt may vary from completely ionized to almost non-ionized.

Compounds of Formula 1 may exist in a continuum of solid states ranging from fully amorphous to fully crystalline. The term “amorphous” refers to a state in which the material lacks long range order at the molecular level and, depending upon temperature, may exhibit the physical properties of a solid or a liquid. Typically such materials do not give distinctive X-ray diffraction patterns and, while exhibiting the properties of a solid, are more formally described as a liquid. Upon heating, a change from solid to liquid properties occurs which is characterized by a change of state, typically second order (“glass transition”). The term “crystalline” refers to a solid phase in which the material has a regular ordered internal structure at the molecular level and gives a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with defined peaks. Such materials when heated sufficiently will also exhibit the properties of a liquid, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase change, typically first order (“melting point”).

Compounds of Formula 1 may also exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. The term “solvate” describes a molecular complex comprising the compound and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules (e.g., EtOH). The term “hydrate” is a solvate in which the solvent is water. Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates include those in which the solvent may be isotopically substituted (e.g., D₂O, acetone-d₆, DMSO-d₆).

A currently accepted classification system for solvates and hydrates of organic compounds is one that distinguishes between isolated site, channel, and metal-ion coordinated solvates and hydrates. See, e.g., K. R. Morris (H. G. Brittain ed.) Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids (1995). Isolated site solvates and hydrates are ones in which the solvent (e.g., water) molecules are isolated from direct contact with each other by intervening molecules of the organic compound. In channel solvates, the solvent molecules lie in lattice channels where they are next to other solvent molecules. In metal-ion coordinated solvates, the solvent molecules are bonded to the metal ion.

When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and in hygroscopic compounds, the water or solvent content will depend on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will typically be observed.

Compounds of Formula 1 may also exist as multi-component complexes (other than salts and solvates) in which the compound (drug) and at least one other component are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. Complexes of this type include clathrates (drug-host inclusion complexes) and co-crystals. The latter are typically defined as crystalline complexes of neutral molecular constituents which are bound together through non-covalent interactions, but could also be a complex of a neutral molecule with a salt. Co-crystals may be prepared by melt crystallization, by recrystallization from solvents, or by physically grinding the components together. See, e.g., O. Almarsson and M. J. Zaworotko, Chem. Commun. (2004) 17:1889-1896. For a general review of multi-component complexes, see J. K. Haleblian, J. Pharm. Sci. (1975) 64(8):1269-88.

When subjected to suitable conditions, compounds of Formula 1 may exist in a mesomorphic state (mesophase or liquid crystal). The mesomorphic state lies between the true crystalline state and the true liquid state (either melt or solution). Mesomorphism arising as the result of a change in temperature is described as “thermotropic” and mesomorphism resulting from the addition of a second component, such as water or another solvent, is described as “lyotropic.” Compounds that have the potential to form lyotropic mesophases are described as “amphiphilic” and include molecules which possess a polar ionic moiety (e.g., —COO⁻Na⁺, —COO⁻K⁺, —SO₃ ⁻Na⁺) or polar non-ionic moiety (such as —N⁻N⁺(CH₃)₃). See, e.g., N. H. Hartshorne and A. Stuart, Crystals and the Polarizing Microscope (4th ed, 1970).

All references to compounds, including compounds of Formula 1 and compounds named in the specification, generally include all polymorphs and crystal habits, prodrugs, metabolites, stereoisomers, and tautomers thereof, as well as all isotopically-labeled compounds thereof.

“Prodrugs” refer to compounds having little or no pharmacological activity that can, when metabolized in vivo, undergo conversion to compounds having desired pharmacological activity. Prodrugs may be prepared by replacing appropriate functionalities present in pharmacologically active compounds with “pro-moieties” as described, for example, in H. Bundgaar, Design of Prodrugs (1985). Examples of prodrugs include ester, ether or amide derivatives of compounds of Formula 1 having carboxylic acid, hydroxy, or amino functional groups, respectively. For further discussions of prodrugs, see e.g., T. Higuchi and V. Stella “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” ACS Symposium Series 14 (1975) and E. B. Roche ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design (1987).

“Metabolites” refer to compounds formed in vivo upon administration of pharmacologically active compounds. Examples include hydroxymethyl, hydroxy, secondary amino, primary amino, phenol, and carboxylic acid derivatives of compounds of Formula 1 having methyl, alkoxy, tertiary amino, secondary amino, phenyl, and amide groups, respectively.

Certain compounds described herein may have stereoisomers. These compounds may exist as single enantiomers (enantiopure compounds) or mixtures of enantiomers (enriched and racemic samples), which depending on the relative excess of one enantiomer over another in a sample, may exhibit optical activity. Such stereoisomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images, possess a stereogenic axis or one or more stereogenic centers (i.e., chirality). Other compounds may be stereoisomers that are not mirror images. Such stereoisomers, which are known as diastereoisomers, may be chiral or achiral (contain no stereogenic centers). They include molecules containing an alkenyl or cyclic group, so that cis/trans (or Z/E) stereoisomers are possible, or molecules containing two or more stereogenic centers, in which inversion of a single stereogenic center generates a corresponding diastereoisomer. Unless stated or otherwise clear (e.g., through use of stereobonds, stereocenter descriptors, etc.) the scope of the invention and disclosure generally includes the reference compound and its stereoisomers, whether they are each pure (e.g., enantiopure) or mixtures (e.g., enantiomerically enriched or racemic).

Geometrical (cis/trans) isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as chromatography and fractional crystallization.

Individual enantiomers of compounds may be prepared via chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or isolated via resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral HPLC. Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable enantiomerically pure compound (e.g., acid or base) to yield a pair of diastereoisomers, each composed of a single enantiomer, which are separated via, say, fractional recrystallization or chromatography. The desired enantiomer is subsequently regenerated from the appropriate diastereoisomer. Often, the desired enantiomer may be further enriched by recrystallization in a suitable solvent (e.g., ACN) when it is it available in sufficient quantity (e.g., typically not much less than about 85% ee, and in some cases, not much less than about 90% ee). For a further discussion of techniques for separating stereoisomers, see E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (1994).

“Tautomers” refer to structural isomers that are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. Tautomeric isomerism (tautomerism) may take the form of proton tautomerism in which the compound contains, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group, or valence tautomerism in which the compound contains an aromatic moiety.

Compounds described herein also include all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopic variations, in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Isotopes suitable for inclusion in compounds of Formula 1 include, for example, isotopes of hydrogen, such as ²H and ³H; isotopes of carbon, such as ¹¹C, ¹³C and ¹⁴C; isotopes of nitrogen, such as ¹³N and ¹⁵N; isotopes of oxygen, such as ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O and ¹⁸O; isotopes of sulfur, such as ³⁵S; isotopes of fluorine, such as ¹⁸F; isotopes of chlorine, such as ³⁶Cl, and isotopes of iodine, such as ¹²³I and ¹²⁵I. Use of isotopic variations (e.g., deuterium, ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Additionally, certain isotopic variations of the disclosed compounds may incorporate a radioactive isotope (e.g., tritium, ³H, or ¹⁴C), which may be useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, may be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds may be prepared by processes analogous to those described elsewhere in the disclosure using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of a non-labeled reagent.

The compounds of Formula 1 may be prepared using the techniques described below. Some of the schemes and examples may omit details of common reactions, including oxidations, reductions, and so on, separation techniques (extraction, evaporation, precipitation, chromatography, filtration, trituration, crystallization, and the like), and analytical procedures, which are known to persons of ordinary skill in the art of organic chemistry. The details of such reactions and techniques can be found in a number of treatises, including Richard Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations (1999), and the multi-volume series edited by Michael B. Smith and others, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods (1974 et seq.). Starting materials and reagents may be obtained from commercial sources or may be prepared using literature methods. Some of the reaction schemes may omit minor products resulting from chemical transformations (e.g., an alcohol from the hydrolysis of an ester, CO₂ from the decarboxylation of a diacid, etc.). In addition, in some instances, reaction intermediates may be used in subsequent steps without isolation or purification (i.e., in situ).

In some of the reaction schemes and examples below, certain compounds can be prepared using protecting groups, which prevent undesirable chemical reaction at otherwise reactive sites. Protecting groups may also be used to enhance solubility or otherwise modify physical properties of a compound. For a discussion of protecting group strategies, a description of materials and methods for installing and removing protecting groups, and a compilation of useful protecting groups for common functional groups, including amines, carboxylic acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and so on, see T. W. Greene and P. G. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Chemistry (1999) and P. Kocienski, Protective Groups (2000).

Generally, the chemical transformations described throughout the specification may be carried out using substantially stoichiometric amounts of reactants, though certain reactions may benefit from using an excess of one or more of the reactants. Additionally, many of the reactions disclosed throughout the specification may be carried out at about room temperature (RT) and ambient pressure, but depending on reaction kinetics, yields, and so on, some reactions may be run at elevated pressures or employ higher temperatures (e.g., reflux conditions) or lower temperatures (e.g., −78° C. to 0° C.). Any reference in the disclosure to a stoichiometric range, a temperature range, a pH range, etc., whether or not expressly using the word “range,” also includes the indicated endpoints.

Many of the chemical transformations may also employ one or more compatible solvents, which may influence the reaction rate and yield. Depending on the nature of the reactants, the one or more solvents may be polar protic solvents (including water), polar aprotic solvents, non-polar solvents, or some combination. Representative solvents include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane); aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylenes); halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride); aliphatic alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, 2-methyl-propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, 2-methyl-propan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol, 3-methyl-butan-1-ol, hexan-1-ol, 2-methoxy-ethanol, 2-ethoxy-ethanol, 2-butoxy-ethanol, 2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-ethanol, 2-(2-ethoxy-ethoxy)-ethanol, 2-(2-butoxy-ethoxy)-ethanol); ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, di-isopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane, 1,2-diethoxy-ethane, 1-methoxy-2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-ethane, 1-ethoxy-2-(2-ethoxy-ethoxy)-ethane, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane); ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone); esters (methyl acetate, ethyl acetate); nitrogen-containing solvents (e.g., formamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, N-methyl-pyrrolidone, pyridine, quinoline, nitrobenzene); sulfur-containing solvents (e.g., carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydro-thiophene-1,1,-dioxide); and phosphorus-containing solvents (e.g., hexamethylphosphoric triamide).

In the schemes, below, substituent identifiers (e.g., R¹, R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, L¹ and L²) are as defined above for Formula 1. As mentioned earlier, however, some of the starting materials and intermediates may include protecting groups, which are removed prior to the final product. In such cases, the substituent identifier refers to moieties defined in Formula 1 and to those moieties with appropriate protecting groups. For example, a starting material or intermediate in the schemes may include an R³ that is a moiety having a potentially reactive amine. In such cases, R³ would include the moiety with or without, say, a Boc or Cbz group attached to the amine.

Scheme 1 illustrates a method for preparing compound 1-5. Starting material 1-0 (e.g., methyl 6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate) is chlorinated at elevated temperature (e.g., 95-105° C.) using phosphoryl trichloride as a reactive solvent, in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethyl aniline to give a methylpyrimidine carboxylate 1-1. The 2-chloro and 4-chloro groups of intermediate 1-1 are subsequently displaced via treatment with an appropriately-substituted amine. As depicted in Scheme 1, the 2-chloro group is reacted with R⁴—NH₂ (e.g. substituted aniline) in a polar aprotic organic solvent (e.g., ACN or THF) and in the presence of a hindered base such as Et₃N or DIPEA (2 eq) to give intermediate 1-2. The reaction may be carried out at elevated temperatures (e.g. 90° C. or reflux conditions). In a similar manner, the 4-chloro group is displaced with R³—NH₂ to give intermediate 1-3. The second displacement is carried out at elevated temperatures (e.g., 90° C. or reflux conditions) in a polar aprotic organic solvent (e.g., DMA or DMF) in the presence of a hindered base (e.g., Et₃N or DIPEA).

Scheme 1 shows two methods for cyclizing intermediate 1-3. In one method, intermediate 1-3 is oxidized with SeO₂ (2-4 eq) in an organic solvent, such as 1,4-dioxane, under reflux conditions (e.g., about 100° C.) to give a ketone (or aldehyde) intermediate (not shown). Subsequent reaction with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine in the presence of a mild reducing agent, such as sodium cyanoborohydride (1.5 eq) or sodium triacetoxy-borohydride in MeOH, gives via reductive amination, an amino intermediate which cyclizes to 1-4, either immediately or upon heating to about 50° C. The dimethoxybenzyl group can be removed by treating intermediate 1-4 with an acid (e.g., TFA) at about 60° C., which gives the desired compound 1-5. In a second method, intermediate 1-3 is treated with a bromination reagent such as NBS in the presence of an initiator (e.g., dibenzoyl peroxide or AIBN) in CCl₄. Refluxing the reaction mixture gives intermediate 1-6, which is treated with a source of ammonia (e.g., ammonium hydroxide) in THF to give 1-5.

Scheme 2 provides a method for preparing compound 2-8. Starting material 2-0 (2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)acetic acid) is reacted with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (1-1.5 eq) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1-1.5 eq) in the presence of DCC (1-1.5 eq) and an organic solvent such as dichloromethane to give intermediate 2-1. Subsequent treatment of 2-1 with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (1 eq) in EtOH at about 50° C. gives an imine 2-2, which is isolated, re-dissolved in an organic solvent (e.g., THF) and treated with an activated carbonylisocyanate (e.g., carbonisocyanatidic chloride, 1 eq) at about 80° C. to give intermediate 2-3. Treating 2-3 with an acid (e.g., TFA at RT to 60° C.) removes the dimethoxybenzyl group to give intermediate 2-4, which is subsequently reacted with a chlorinating agent (e.g., POCl₃) under refluxing conditions (e.g., about 100° C.) to give intermediate 2-5. Stepwise displacement of the two chloro groups with appropriately-substituted amines (R⁴—NH₂ and R³—NH₂) gives intermediates 2-6 and 2-7. Treatment of intermediate 2-7 with hydrazine hydrate (4-5 eq) in EtOH with heating (e.g., at about 65° C.) gives compound 2-8.

Scheme 3 provides another method for preparing compound 2-8. Starting material 3-0 (2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine) is treated with a strong base such as LDA (made freshly from diisopropyl amine and n-BuLi or purchased) at −78° C. in dry THF, followed by quenching with dry ice. Warming the mixture to RT and stirring gives intermediate 3-1. Displacement of a chloro group via treatment with an appropriately-substituted amine (R⁴—NH₂, 1 eq) in the presence of a hindered base (e.g., Et₃N or DIPEA, 2 eq) and a polar aprotic organic solvent (e.g., DMF) gives intermediate 3-2. Subsequent treatment of 3-2 with MeI (1-1.5 eq) and a base (e.g. sodium bicarbonate, 1.5-3 eq) yields an ester 3-3, which may proceed to compound 2-8 through two different routes. In one route, intermediate 3-3 undergoes treatment with an appropriately-substituted amine (R³—NH₂, 1-1.1 eq) in the presence of a hindered base (e.g., DIPEA) and a polar aprotic organic solvent (e.g., THF) to give intermediate 3-4 and an isomer. Following isolation, intermediate 3-4 is reacted with zinc cyanide (0.5-1 eq) and a catalytic amount (10%) of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium(0) in DMF at about 90° C. to give nitrile 3-5. Reduction of the nitrile group to an amine via hydrogenation using Pd on carbon (5-10%) in EtOH and a catalytic amount of HCl gives, upon treatment with sodium bicarbonate, 2-8.

In an alternative route, intermediate 3-3 is first converted to nitrile 3-6 via palladium-catalyzed cyanation by heating a mixture of 3-3, zinc cyanide (0.5-1 eq), tetrakis(triphenyl phosphine)palladium(0) (0.1 eq), and a polar aprotic solvent (e.g., DMF) in a microwave oven at about 120° C. for about 1 hour. Following isolation, intermediate 3-6 is converted at RT to 3-5 via reaction with an appropriately-substituted amine (R³—NH₂, 1-1.5 eq) in a polar aprotic solvent (e.g., DMF) and in the presence of a hindered base (e.g., DIPEA). As described above, reduction of the nitrile group of 3-5 and subsequent cyclization gives compound 2-8.

Scheme 4 shows a method for preparing compound 4-6. Lithiation of starting material 4-0 (2,6-di-halo-3-iodopyridine) via directed ortho-lithiation by LDA in THF at −78° C., followed by quenching with dry ice, gives 4-1, which is subsequently esterified at RT using MeI and a base (e.g., potassium carbonate). As in Scheme 3, the iodo group of intermediate 4-2 is converted to a nitrile group via palladium-catalyzed cyanation to give 4-3. Stepwise displacement of the two chloro groups with appropriately-substituted amines (R⁴—NH₂ and R³—NH₂) gives intermediates 4-4 and 4-5. As in the ring-closure step depicted in Scheme 3, hydrogenation followed by cyclization gives compound 4-6.

Scheme 5 depicts a method for preparing compound 5-4. Starting material 1-1 (methyl 2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate) is reacted with an aromatic boronic acid or borate (e.g., R⁴—B(OR¹³)₂, where R⁴ is C₆₋₁₄ aryl or C₁₋₉ heteroaryl, and e.g., each R¹³ is H or C₁₋₄ alkyl) in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄, (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂, etc.), a base (e.g., KF or Na₂CO₃), and an organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, DMF, etc.). The Suzuki-type coupling is carried out at elevated temperature (e.g., about 90° C.) and gives intermediate 5-1. Displacement of the chloro group with an appropriately-substituted amine (R³—NH₂) gives intermediate 5-2. As in Scheme 1, the methyl group on pyrimidine is oxidized with SeO₂ (2-4 eq) in an organic solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane) under reflux conditions to give an aldehyde intermediate, which is subsequently reacted with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine in the presence of a mild reducing agent (e.g., about 1.5 eq of NaCNBH₃ or NaBH(OAc)₃) in MeOH, to give, via reductive amination, an amino intermediate which cyclizes to 5-3, either immediately or upon heating to about 50° C. Treating intermediate 5-3 with an acid (e.g., TFA) at about 60° C. gives compound 5-4.

Scheme 6 depicts a method for preparing compound 6-3. Starting material 6-0, which may be prepared from methyl 2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate using the methods described above, is reacted with an aromatic boronic acid or borate (e.g., R³—B(OR¹³)₂, where R³ is C₆₋₁₄ aryl or C₁₋₉ heteroaryl and e.g., R¹³ is H or C₁₋₄ alkyl) in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄, (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂, etc.), a base (e.g., KF or Na₂CO₃), and an organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, DMF, DME, etc.). The Suzuki-type coupling is carried out at elevated temperature (e.g., about 90° C.) and gives intermediate 6-1. The methyl group on pyrimidine is oxidized with SeO₂ (2-4 eq) in an organic solvent (e.g., 1,4-dioxane) under reflux conditions to give an aldehyde intermediate, which is subsequently reacted with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine in the presence of a mild reducing agent (e.g., about 1.5 eq of NaCNBH₃ or NaBH(OAc)₃) in MeOH, to give intermediate 6-2. Treating 6-2 with an acid (e.g., TFA) at about 60° C. yields compound 6-3.

Scheme 7 illustrates methods for preparing compounds 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, and 7-6. Starting material 7-0, which may be prepared using the methods described above, may be reacted with NBS or NIS to give halo-pyridine intermediate 7-1 (Y¹ is Br or I). As in Scheme 3, the halo group of 7-1 may be converted to a nitrile group via palladium-catalyzed cyanation to give 7-2. Compound 7-2 is subsequently reacted with a Grignard reagent (R⁷—MgBr) to give an imine intermediate (not shown), which upon acid hydrolysis, yields compound 7-3. Alternatively, halo-pyridine intermediate 7-1 may be reacted with NHR⁸R⁹ in the presence of a palladium (II) catalyst (e.g., PdCl₂(dppf)), a stoichiometric amount of base (e.g., NaOt-Bu), and an organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, toluene, etc.), at elevated temperature (e.g., about 100° C.). The Buchwald-Hartwig coupling gives heteroaryl amine 7-4. In addition, 7-1 may be reacted with a terminal alkyne (HCR≡R¹³, e.g., R¹³ is H or C₁₋₄ alkyl) in the presence of a palladium(II) catalyst (e.g., (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂), a copper(I) co-catalyst (e.g., CuI), and an amine base (e.g. Et₃N), at RT. Following the Sonogashira coupling, reduction of the alkyne moiety yields compound 7-5 with R⁵ being, e.g., C₁₋₅ alkyl. Compound 7-1 may be reacted with an aromatic boronic acid or borate (e.g., R⁵—B(OR¹³)₂, where R⁵ is C₁₋₉ heteroaryl and e.g., R¹³ is H or C₁₋₄ alkyl) in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄, (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂, etc.), a base (e.g., KF or Na₂CO₃), and an organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, DMF, etc.). The Suzuki-type coupling is carried out at elevated temperature (e.g., about 90° C.) and gives compound 7-5 with R⁵ being C₁₋₉ heteroaryl.

As shown in Scheme 7, compound 7-0 may alternatively be treated with a fluorinating agent, such as SELECTFLUOR® (1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane ditetrafluoroborate), in an organic solvent (e.g., DCM) or a mixture of organic solvents (e.g., DCM and MeOH), to give a fluoro-pyridine derivative 7-6 (Y² is F). Similarly, 7-0 may be treated with a chlorinating agent, such as NCS, in an aprotic solvent (e.g., DCM) to give a chloro-pyridine derivative 7-6 (Y² is Cl).

Scheme 8 shows an alternative method for preparing compound 4-6. Starting material 8-0 (2-chloro-3-iodopyridine) undergoes ortho-directed lithiation via treatment with LDA in THF at −78° C. Quenching with dry ice gives 8-1, which is subsequently esterified at RT using iodomethane and a base (e.g., potassium carbonate). As in Scheme 4, the iodo group of intermediate 8-2 is converted to a nitrile group via palladium-catalyzed cyanation or through treatment with cyanocopper or zinc cyanide in a suitable solvent (e.g., DMF, DMA, etc.) at elevated temperature. The R⁴ substituent is installed on 8-3 using a Suzuki reaction, which gives intermediate 8-4. N-oxidation of the pyridine moiety via treatment with hydrogen peroxide/urea complex gives an activated intermediate 8-5, which is chlorinated through reaction with phosphorus oxychloride at an elevated temperature (e.g., 90-100° C.). Displacement of the chloro group on 8-6 via reaction with an appropriately-substituted amine (R³—NH₂) gives intermediate 8-7. Subsequent reduction through palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation and cyclization gives compound 4-6.

Scheme 9 depicts the synthesis of compound 9-5. Starting material 9-0 (2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid) is lithiated via treatment with LDA in THF at −78° C. Quenching with DMF gives an aldehyde intermediate 9-1, which undergoes reductive amination through reaction with an amine (e.g., 2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanamine) and reducing agent (e.g., NaBH(OAc)₃). The resulting amino acid (not shown) is cyclized via amide coupling, which employs a suitable coupling agent (e.g., EDCI, DCC, etc.), catalyst (HOBt, DMAP, etc.), and solvent (e.g., DMF, DMSO, ACN, THF, DCM, etc.). As in previous schemes, displacement of the chloro group of compound 9-2 with an appropriate amine (R³—NH₂) gives intermediate 9-3, which is subsequently reacted with an aromatic boronic acid or borate (e.g., R⁴—B(OR¹³)₂ in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄, (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂, etc.), base (e.g., KF or Na₂CO₃), and organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, DMF, etc.) at elevated temperature (e.g., about 90° C.) to give 9-4. Following the Suzuki coupling, treatment of 9-4 with TFA at elevated temperature (e.g., 40-60° C.) generates 9-5.

Scheme 10 shows another method for preparing compound 1-5. The chloro group of compound 1-2 is first displaced with sodium methanethiolate to give 10-1. As in Scheme 1, intermediate 10-1 is oxidized with SeO₂ to give a ketone (or aldehyde) intermediate (not shown), which is reacted with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine in the presence of a reducing agent to give, via reductive amination, an amino acid intermediate which cyclizes to 10-2. The methylthio group is converted to methylsulfonyl using mCPBA (m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid), which is displaced with an appropriate amine (R³—NH₂) to give intermediate 10-4. Treatment of 10-4 with an acid (e.g., TFA) at elevated temperature (e.g., 40-60° C.) gives compound 1-5.

Scheme 11 depicts an alternate synthesis of compound 9-5. Starting material 11-0 (2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinonitrile) is hydrolyzed by treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid at elevated temperature (e.g., about 65° C.) to give amide 11-1, which is lithiated via treatment with LiHMDS at about 0° C. or reaction with LDA in THF at −78° C. Quenching with DMF gives aldehyde intermediate 11-2, which is reduced to lactam 11-3 by treatment with a reducing agent (e.g., triethyl silane) and an acid (e.g., TFA) in an organic solvent (e.g., DCM). Following installation of a Boc protecting group on lactam 11-3, displacement of a chloro group on compound 11-4 via reaction with an appropriate amine (R³—NH₂) gives intermediate 11-5. The intermediate is subsequently reacted with an aromatic boronic acid or borate (e.g., R⁴—B(OR¹³)₂ in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄, (PPh₃)₂PdCl₂, Pd₂(dba)₃, etc.), an optional ligand (e.g., 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl), a base (e.g., KF or Na₂CO₃), and an organic solvent (e.g., dioxane, DMF, etc.) to give compound 11-6. The Suzuki reaction is carried out at elevated temperature (e.g., 90-160° C.), either by conventional heating or via microwave irradiation. Alternatively, compound 11-5 may be reacted with an aromatic tin reagent (e.g., R⁴—Sn(n-Bu)₃) in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄) and an organic solvent (e.g., toluene) at elevated temperature (e.g., about 100° C.). Following the Suzuki or Stille coupling, treatment of 11-6 with an acid (e.g., TFA or HCl) at RT or above (e.g., about 20-60° C.) generates 9-5.

Compounds of Formula 1, which include compounds named above, and their pharmaceutically acceptable complexes, salts, solvates and hydrates, should be assessed for their biopharmaceutical properties, such as solubility and solution stability across pH, permeability, and the like, to select an appropriate dosage form and route of administration. Compounds that are intended for pharmaceutical use may be administered as crystalline or amorphous products, and may be obtained, for example, as solid plugs, powders, or films by methods such as precipitation, crystallization, freeze drying, spray drying, evaporative drying, microwave drying, or radio frequency drying.

Compounds of Formula 1 may be administered alone or in combination with one another or with one or more pharmacologically active compounds which are different than the compounds of Formula 1. Generally, one or more these compounds are administered as a pharmaceutical composition (a formulation) in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The choice of excipients depends on the particular mode of administration, the effect of the excipient on solubility and stability, and the nature of the dosage form, among other things. Useful pharmaceutical compositions and methods for their preparation may be found, for example, in A. R. Gennaro (ed.), Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (20th ed., 2000).

Compounds of Formula 1 may be administered orally. Oral administration may involve swallowing in which case the compound enters the bloodstream via the gastrointestinal tract. Alternatively or additionally, oral administration may involve mucosal administration (e.g., buccal, sublingual, supralingual administration) such that the compound enters the bloodstream through the oral mucosa.

Formulations suitable for oral administration include solid, semi-solid and liquid systems such as tablets; soft or hard capsules containing multi- or nano-particulates, liquids, or powders; lozenges which may be liquid-filled; chews; gels; fast dispersing dosage forms; films; ovules; sprays; and buccal or mucoadhesive patches. Liquid formulations include suspensions, solutions, syrups and elixirs. Such formulations may be employed as fillers in soft or hard capsules (made, e.g., from gelatin or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) and typically comprise a carrier (e.g., water, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methylcellulose, or a suitable oil) and one or more emulsifying agents, suspending agents or both. Liquid formulations may also be prepared by the reconstitution of a solid (e.g., from a sachet).

Compounds of Formula 1 may also be used in fast-dissolving, fast-disintegrating dosage forms such as those described in Liang and Chen, Expert Opinion in Therapeutic Patents (2001) 11(6):981-986.

For tablet dosage forms, depending on dose, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) may comprise from about 1 wt % to about 80 wt % of the dosage form or more typically from about 5 wt % to about 60 wt % of the dosage form. In addition to the API, tablets may include one or more disintegrants, binders, diluents, surfactants, glidants, lubricants, anti-oxidants, colorants, flavoring agents, preservatives, and taste-masking agents. Examples of disintegrants include sodium starch glycolate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, C₁₋₆ alkyl-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, starch, pregelatinized starch, and sodium alginate. Generally, the disintegrant will comprise from about 1 wt % to about 25 wt % or from about 5 wt % to about 20 wt % of the dosage form.

Binders are generally used to impart cohesive qualities to a tablet formulation. Suitable binders include microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, sugars, polyethylene glycol, natural and synthetic gums, polyvinylpyrrolidone, pregelatinized starch, hydroxypropylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Tablets may also contain diluents, such as lactose (monohydrate, spray-dried monohydrate, anhydrous), mannitol, xylitol, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starch and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate.

Tablets may also include surface active agents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and polysorbate 80, and glidants such as silicon dioxide and talc. When present, surface active agents may comprise from about 0.2 wt % to about 5 wt % of the tablet, and glidants may comprise from about 0.2 wt % to about 1 wt % of the tablet.

Tablets may also contain lubricants such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, and mixtures of magnesium stearate with sodium lauryl sulfate. Lubricants may comprise from about 0.25 wt % to about 10 wt % or from about 0.5 wt % to about 3 wt % of the tablet.

Tablet blends may be compressed directly or by roller compaction to form tablets. Tablet blends or portions of blends may alternatively be wet-, dry-, or melt-granulated, melt congealed, or extruded before tableting. If desired, prior to blending one or more of the components may be sized by screening or milling or both. The final dosage form may comprise one or more layers and may be coated, uncoated, or encapsulated. Exemplary tablets may contain up to about 80 wt % of API, from about 10 wt % to about 90 wt % of binder, from about 0 wt % to about 85 wt % of diluent, from about 2 wt % to about 10 wt % of disintegrant, and from about 0.25 wt % to about 10 wt % of lubricant. For a discussion of blending, granulation, milling, screening, tableting, coating, as well as a description of alternative techniques for preparing drug products, see A. R. Gennaro (ed.), Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (20th ed., 2000); H. A. Lieberman et al. (ed.), Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Vol. 1-3 (2d ed., 1990); and D. K. Parikh & C. K. Parikh, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Granulation Technology, Vol. 81 (1997).

Consumable oral films for human or veterinary use are pliable water-soluble or water-swellable thin film dosage forms which may be rapidly dissolving or mucoadhesive. In addition to the API, a typical film includes one or more film-forming polymers, binders, solvents, humectants, plasticizers, stabilizers or emulsifiers, viscosity-modifying agents, and solvents. Other film ingredients may include anti-oxidants, colorants, flavorants and flavor enhancers, preservatives, salivary stimulating agents, cooling agents, co-solvents (including oils), emollients, bulking agents, anti-foaming agents, surfactants, and taste-masking agents. Some components of the formulation may perform more than one function.

In addition to dosing requirements, the amount of API in the film may depend on its solubility. If water soluble, the API would typically comprise from about 1 wt % to about 80 wt % of the non-solvent components (solutes) in the film or from about 20 wt % to about 50 wt % of the solutes in the film. A less soluble API may comprise a greater proportion of the composition, typically up to about 88 wt % of the non-solvent components in the film.

The film-forming polymer may be selected from natural polysaccharides, proteins, or synthetic hydrocolloids and typically comprises from about 0.01 wt % to about 99 wt % or from about 30 wt % to about 80 wt % of the film.

Film dosage forms are typically prepared by evaporative drying of thin aqueous films coated onto a peelable backing support or paper, which may carried out in a drying oven or tunnel (e.g., in a combined coating-drying apparatus), in lyophilization equipment, or in a vacuum oven.

Useful solid formulations for oral administration may include immediate release formulations and modified release formulations. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted-, and programmed-release. For a general description of suitable modified release formulations, see U.S. Pat. No. 6,106,864. For details of other useful release technologies, such as high energy dispersions and osmotic and coated particles, see Verma et al, Pharmaceutical Technology On-line (2001) 25(2):1-14.

Compounds of Formula 1 may also be administered directly into the blood stream, muscle, or an internal organ of the subject. Suitable techniques for parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular, intrasynovial, and subcutaneous administration. Suitable devices for parenteral administration include needle injectors, including microneedle injectors, needle-free injectors, and infusion devices.

Parenteral formulations are typically aqueous solutions which may contain excipients such as salts, carbohydrates and buffering agents (e.g., pH of from about 3 to about 9). For some applications, however, compounds of Formula 1 may be more suitably formulated as a sterile non-aqueous solution or as a dried form to be used in conjunction with a suitable vehicle such as sterile, pyrogen-free water. The preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions (e.g., by lyophilization) may be readily accomplished using standard pharmaceutical techniques.

The solubility of compounds which are used in the preparation of parenteral solutions may be increased through appropriate formulation techniques, such as the incorporation of solubility-enhancing agents. Formulations for parenteral administration may be formulated to be immediate or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed, sustained, pulsed, controlled, targeted, and programmed release. Thus, compounds of Formula 1 may be formulated as a suspension, a solid, a semi-solid, or a thixotropic liquid for administration as an implanted depot providing modified release of the active compound. Examples of such formulations include drug-coated stents and semi-solids and suspensions comprising drug-loaded poly(DL-lactic-coglycolic)acid (PGLA) microspheres.

Compounds of Formula 1 may also be administered topically, intradermally, or transdermally to the skin or mucosa. Typical formulations for this purpose include gels, hydrogels, lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings, foams, films, skin patches, wafers, implants, sponges, fibers, bandages and microemulsions. Liposomes may also be used. Typical carriers may include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Topical formulations may also include penetration enhancers. See, e.g., Finnin and Morgan, J. Pharm. Sci. 88(10):955-958 (1999).

Other means of topical administration include delivery by electroporation, iontophoresis, phonophoresis, sonophoresis and microneedle or needle-free (e.g. Powderject™ and Bioject™) injection. Formulations for topical administration may be formulated to be immediate or modified release as described above.

Compounds of Formula 1 may also be administered intranasally or by inhalation, typically in the form of a dry powder, an aerosol spray, or nasal drops. An inhaler may be used to administer the dry powder, which comprises the API alone, a powder blend of the API and a diluent, such as lactose, or a mixed component particle that includes the API and a phospholipid, such as phosphatidylcholine. For intranasal use, the powder may include a bioadhesive agent, e.g., chitosan or cyclodextrin. A pressurized container, pump, sprayer, atomizer, or nebulizer, may be used to generate the aerosol spray from a solution or suspension comprising the API, one or more agents for dispersing, solubilizing, or extending the release of the API (e.g., EtOH with or without water), one or more solvents (e.g., 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane) which serve as a propellant, and an optional surfactant, such as sorbitan trioleate, oleic acid, or an oligolactic acid. An atomizer using electrohydrodynamics may be used to produce a fine mist.

Prior to use in a dry powder or suspension formulation, the drug product is usually comminuted to a particle size suitable for delivery by inhalation (typically 90% of the particles, based on volume, having a largest dimension less than 5 microns). This may be achieved by any appropriate size reduction method, such as spiral jet milling, fluid bed jet milling, supercritical fluid processing, high pressure homogenization, or spray drying.

Capsules, blisters and cartridges (made, for example, from gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated to contain a powder mixture of the active compound, a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch, and a performance modifier such as L-leucine, mannitol, or magnesium stearate. The lactose may be anhydrous or monohydrated. Other suitable excipients include dextran, glucose, maltose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sucrose, and trehalose.

A suitable solution formulation for use in an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist may contain from about 1 μg to about 20 mg of the API per actuation and the actuation volume may vary from about 1 μL to about 100 μL. A typical formulation may comprise one or more compounds of Formula 1, propylene glycol, sterile water, EtOH, and NaCl. Alternative solvents, which may be used instead of propylene glycol, include glycerol and polyethylene glycol.

Formulations for inhaled administration, intranasal administration, or both, may be formulated to be immediate or modified release using, for example, PGLA. Suitable flavors, such as menthol and levomenthol, or sweeteners, such as saccharin or sodium saccharin, may be added to formulations intended for inhaled/intranasal administration.

In the case of dry powder inhalers and aerosols, the dosage unit is determined by means of a valve that delivers a metered amount. Units are typically arranged to administer a metered dose or “puff” containing from about 10 μg to about 1000 μg of the API. The overall daily dose will typically range from about 100 μg to about 10 mg which may be administered in a single dose or, more usually, as divided doses throughout the day.

The active compounds may be administered rectally or vaginally, e.g., in the form of a suppository, pessary, or enema. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various alternatives may be used as appropriate. Formulations for rectal or vaginal administration may be formulated to be immediate or modified release as described above.

Compounds of Formula 1 may also be administered directly to the eye or ear, typically in the form of drops of a micronized suspension or solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted, sterile saline. Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration include ointments, gels, biodegradable implants (e.g. absorbable gel sponges, collagen), non-biodegradable implants (e.g. silicone), wafers, lenses, and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or liposomes. The formulation may include one or more polymers and a preservative, such as benzalkonium chloride. Typical polymers include crossed-linked polyacrylic acid, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid, cellulosic polymers (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, methyl cellulose), and heteropolysaccharide polymers (e.g., gelan gum). Such formulations may also be delivered by iontophoresis. Formulations for ocular or aural administration may be formulated to be immediate or modified release as described above.

To improve their solubility, dissolution rate, taste-masking, bioavailability, or stability, compounds of Formula 1 may be combined with soluble macromolecular entities, including cyclodextrin and its derivatives and polyethylene glycol-containing polymers. For example, API-cyclodextrin complexes are generally useful for most dosage forms and routes of administration. Both inclusion and non-inclusion complexes may be used. As an alternative to direct complexation with the API, the cyclodextrin may be used as an auxiliary additive, i.e. as a carrier, diluent, or solubilizer. Alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins are commonly used for these purposes. See, e.g., WO 91/11172, WO 94/02518, and WO 98/55148.

As noted above, one or more compounds of Formula 1, including compounds specifically named above, and their pharmaceutically active complexes, salts, solvates and hydrates, may be combined with each other or with one or more other active pharmaceutically active compounds to treat various diseases, conditions and disorders. In such cases, the active compounds may be combined in a single dosage form as described above or may be provided in the form of a kit which is suitable for coadministration of the compositions. The kit comprises (1) two or more different pharmaceutical compositions, at least one of which contains a compound of Formula 1; and (2) a device for separately retaining the two pharmaceutical compositions, such as a divided bottle or a divided foil packet. An example of such a kit is the familiar blister pack used for the packaging of tablets or capsules. The kit is suitable for administering different types of dosage forms (e.g., oral and parenteral) or for administering different pharmaceutical compositions at separate dosing intervals, or for titrating the different pharmaceutical compositions against one another. To assist with patient compliance, the kit typically comprises directions for administration and may be provided with a memory aid.

For administration to human patients, the total daily dose of the claimed and disclosed compounds is typically in the range of about 0.1 mg to about 3000 mg depending on the route of administration. For example, oral administration may require a total daily dose of from about 1 mg to about 3000 mg, while an intravenous dose may only require a total daily dose of from about 0.1 mg to about 300 mg. The total daily dose may be administered in single or divided doses and, at the physician's discretion, may fall outside of the typical ranges given above. Although these dosages are based on an average human subject having a mass of about 60 kg to about 70 kg, the physician will be able to determine the appropriate dose for a patient (e.g., an infant) whose mass falls outside of this weight range.

As noted above, the compounds of Formula 1 may be used to treat disorders, diseases, and conditions for which inhibition of SYK is indicated. Such disorders, diseases, and conditions generally relate to any unhealthy or abnormal state in a subject for which the inhibition of SYK provides a therapeutic benefit. More particularly, such disorders, diseases, and conditions may involve the immune system and inflammation, including Type I hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions (allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and atopic dermatitis); autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura); inflammation of the lung (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and thrombosis.

The claimed and disclosed compounds may be combined with one or more other pharmacologically active compounds or therapies for the treatment of one or more disorders, diseases or conditions for which SYK is indicated, including disorders, diseases, and conditions involving the immune system, inflammation, and abnormal cell growth. For example, compounds of Formula 1, which include compounds specifically named above, and their pharmaceutically acceptable complexes, salts, solvates and hydrates, may be administered simultaneously, sequentially or separately in combination with one or more compounds or therapies for treating arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, or for treating cancer, including hematological malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, and T-cell lymphoma, and carcinomas, such as lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colon cancer. Such combinations may offer significant therapeutic advantages, including fewer side effects, improved ability to treat underserved patient populations, or synergistic activity.

Biological Activity: SYK Inhibition

The ability of compounds to inhibit SYK activity may be assessed using a variety of methods, including in vitro and in vivo assays. The following in vitro assay measures a test compound's ability to inhibit SYK-mediated phosphorylation of a FAM-labeled SYK-specific substrate (5FAM-KKKKEEIYFFFG-NH₂).

SYK protein is prepared from cDNA encoding human spleen tyrosine kinase and is expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus expression vector. The cDNA (IMAGE: 3542895) is purchased from Open Biosystems. The SYK kinase domain (residues 356-635) is amplified via PCR and cloned into plasmid pFastBacl (Invitrogen) at BamHI/XbaI sites. Recombinant plasmid encoding Met-Ala-Lys-SYK(356-635)-HHHHHH is sequenced and transformed into E. coli DH10Bac strain. The recombinant bacmid DNA is isolated and transfected into Sf9 insect cells. Recombinant virus is harvested 72 h after transfection. High titer viral stock is prepared by infecting Sf9 cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of approximately 0.01. A suspension of Sf9 cells (10 L) is infected with recombinant virus (MOI=5) and is incubated in a Wave Bioreactor (GE-Healthcare) for 48 h. The cells are harvested and stored at −80° C.

To purify the expressed protein, the frozen Sf9 cells (10 L) are broken into small (<1 cm) particles and suspended in a lysis buffer (300 mL) containing 20 mM Tris (pH 7.6), 0.25 mM TCEP, 100 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol and a protease inhibitor. The suspension is stirred at RT until completely thawed, lysed an additional 2-4 min on a rotary blade homogenizer, and then centrifuged at 4200 g for 1 h. Following centrifugation, the supernatant is poured through cheese cloth and combined with a nickel chelating resin (Probond Resin™, Invitrogen) which is pre-equilibrated in a wash buffer containing 10 mM Tris (pH 7.6), 0.25 mM TCEP, 300 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, and 20 mM imidazole. The mixture is agitated for 3 h in a cold room and then centrifuged at 900 g for 10 min. The resin is dispersed in wash buffer (50 mL), centrifuged for 10 min at 900 g, re-dispersed in a small amount of wash buffer (5 mL), and then pour into a disposable Poly-Prep chromatography column, through which wash buffer is passed by gravity until no protein is observed in coomassie buffer (about 120 mL of wash buffer). An elution buffer (30 mL) containing 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 5 mM DTT, and 400 mM imidazole is used to elute the SYK protein from the resin. The eluate is concentrated (5 mL) and further purified on a Superdex 200 column (1.2 mL/min for 160 min, 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 0.25 mM TCEP). The chromatographed fractions are run on SDS-PAGE and the requisite fractions are pooled and concentrated. Final delivery buffer is 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 10 mM Methione, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 5 mM DTT.

SYK inhibition is determined using a black 384 well plate format in buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.01% EDA (Brij 35), 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg/ml BSA at pH 7.3. Each test compound is prepared in DMSO using 2-fold serial dilutions for 11 data points, which are added to the buffer so that each dilution contains 3% DMSO. To each well is added 2 μL of 3 μM 5FAM-KKKKEEIYFFFG-NH₂ (in buffer), 2 μL of diluted test compound (3% DMSO in buffer), and 2 μL of 2.4 nM SYK and 45 μM ATP (in buffer). The reaction mixture is incubated at RT for 60 min, and quenched by adding 50 mM Hepes, 30 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X-100 (pH 7.3). To quantify the fluorescent-labeled substrate and product following reaction, the test plate is loaded on a Caliper LC-3000, which measures percent of conversion by microfluidic-based separation. Corresponding IC₅₀ values are calculated by non-linear curve fitting of the compound concentrations and percent of inhibition to the standard IC₅₀ equation and reported as pIC₅₀, i.e., −log(IC₅₀), where IC₅₀ is molar concentration.

EXAMPLES

The following examples are intended to be illustrative and non-limiting, and represent specific embodiments of the present invention.

¹H Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were obtained for many of the compounds in the following examples. Characteristic chemical shifts (δ) are given in parts-per-million downfield from tetramethylsilane using conventional abbreviations for designation of major peaks, including s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), spt (septet) and br (broad). The mass spectra (m/z) were recorded using either electrospray ionization (ESI) or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). The following abbreviations are used for common solvents: CDCl₃ (deuterochloroform), DMSO-d₆ (deuterodimethylsulfoxide), CD₃OD (deuteromethanol), and THF-d₈ (deuterotetrahydrofuran). “Ammonia” refers to a concentrated solution of ammonia in water possessing a specific gravity of 0.88.

Where indicated, products of certain preparations and examples are purified by mass-triggered HPLC (e.g., Pump: Waters™ 2525; MS: ZQ™; Software: MassLynx™), flash chromatography or preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC). Preparative HPLC is carried out using either acidic or basic conditions. Acid conditions are typically gradients in Solvent A (water with 0.05% TFA) and Solvent B (acetonitrile with 0.035% TFA); basic conditions are typically gradients in Solvent A (10 mM NH₄HCO₃ in water) and Solvent B (10 mM NH₄HCO₃ in 20/80 (v/v) water/acetonitrile). The mentioned preparative HPLC conditions use acidic conditions unless indicated as basic. Preparative TLC is typically carried out on silica gel 60F₂₅₄ plates. After isolation by chromatography, the solvent is removed and the product is obtained by drying in a centrifugal evaporator (e.g., GeneVac™), rotary evaporator, evacuated flask, lyophilizer, etc. Reactions in an inert (e.g., nitrogen) or reactive (e.g., H₂) atmosphere are typically carried out at a pressure of about 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) or greater.
